XVII. Chance Meeting
"Everything is a matter of chance. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sister Feng said to me.
Sister Feng is the hostess of this house where I am a tutor. It was I who I began to think was a babysitter. She is very simple. But she was really a hostess. Little Vivien's mother. Vivien's beauty may have come from her father. The family photo on the wall shows that the man is quite good-looking. But he never showed up.
There is Aunt Le in the villa - cleaning. and Aunt Le's husband, Uncle Le, who is a driver, goes out to buy vegetables and do something. I think they are all a bit related, and they all have Wenzhou accents. Sister Feng didn't be her own master, she cooked food every day. Maybe it's because I'm here to manage Vivian's relationship, and she doesn't do any less housework than Aunt Le.
It's harder than you think to bring a five-year-old girl to play. Sister Feng doesn't have any requirements for me, as long as she plays with Vivian and makes her happy. But it's hard to make her happy. Small children do not have the ability to concentrate easily. It was quite well-behaved for the first few days, but then she got acquainted with it, and she began to play scoundrels with me. Ay.
I chased after Vivien's ass every day to make her eat and poop on time. I wasn't that tough when I was a kid. Maybe it's because I grew up with a cousin of the same age. Eating together with two small children is a bit competitive. And, we're all very active. The consumption is large, and when it comes to the point, it is natural to be hungry. Vivien is more introverted. The physique is not very good. I'll get tired after running for a while. I got excited and played non-stop, and then I had an asthma attack. I want to take her for a swim. There is a public swimming pool in the community, and I went to see it, it was too dirty. Don't say that Sister Feng is not happy, and I am not happy either.
I met Qiu Ming on the weekend. He also said that children are not easy to carry. Alan has a lot of tutoring. Learn piano and English. He went to an international school and attached great importance to English. Vivien will probably go to that school next year. There are all second generations who are either rich or expensive. Qiu Ming used his old profession of taekwondo, which still attracted some of Allen's attention. But this kid is not very talented, lazy and stupid.
He also told me about Vivien's gossip he had heard from the servants. It's a very clichΓ© story of Chen Shimei. The man climbed the high branch and left. Fortunately, he also took care of his daughter and gave him money. That's pretty much what I guessed on my own.
Sister Feng is diligent and kind. I don't like it. She worships God. A room is dedicated to burning incense and kowtowing. But she is the owner of the money, and I can't oppose it openly. She told me in a divine way that she had prayed for me. I can't say what I tasted. Actually, I'm quite averse to superstition. But she had all the best intentions.
On this day, she said that it was the Buddha's Day of Joy, and she pulled me and Vivian in and bowed to her. Bye. She was very happy and pulled me to explain this and that, but I didn't hear a word. I only saw a few ornaments, which were quite beautiful. She saw that I was interested and began to introduce again. She said that a jade bergamot was the most valuable. Actually, I look at it as if it's fake. I pointed to a carved piece of red coral and said, "This one is in good condition." She smiled, "Maybe I don't know." Only this one is ancestral in my family. The others were bought by Xiaowei's father. β
One day, Qiu Ming actually brought Alan to visit the door. I was amazed and delighted. The road is actually quite close. It's Sister Feng who blames her baby daughter for rarely letting me take her out. Allen seemed to have grown a little taller, and he couldn't see the image of the little bully in Qiu Ming's mouth with a smile.
Qiu Ming asked him to strike a few taekwondo poses. A few splits down, Vivien was envious. Alan smugly, "I can also play chess!" Checkers! Go! "The last two kids played backgammon.
After they left, Sister Feng said to me, "Shouldn't I also let Xiaowei learn something?" β
"It's fine. Let's learn a musical instrument. The piano is too expensive, I don't think it's famous, is the harmonica good? I'll blow a little star myself. "I know Sister Feng is very frugal. Spending a lot of money to invite me is really a bloody investment, and I want to be worthy of her.
"It's not about money. I think that kind of thing is too empty. I want to teach her something practical. β
"That's right. Let her learn a little bit and see what her interests are. Chess I'll do a little. Well, hurdle running is my forte. I took her to run and jump more. β
"Well, I want her to learn taekwondo."
I busily objected, "She's too small." What are girls doing when they learn that, and those who learn martial arts are a little bit of a loop. β
"I want her to be self-defensive." Sister Feng said quietly.
I suddenly remembered the incident with the gangsters, and my heart was excited. "Ahh Also. It's a little early to think about it now, but it's a good idea to really learn something. β
